An artist has to look at the future, to see what we can do better.

You know, art is very emotional business. But mostly it becomes not emotional, the fabric of commodity. It becomes business. It becomes so many different things. Because we forgot there was emotions involved.

Image
We wanted to prove that I am not just a provocateur, as the television said [referring to a Fox news clip shown in the film]. It's challenging, but it's not just challenging.

I've always asked myself since I was young, what is my duty on this planet? What am I there for? Just to hang around? Everybody must have some purpose.
Marina Abramovic
Image
I say we don't need art in nature, because it's so perfect without us. We need it in the cities. But the cities have absolutely lost their own center. They think having ten cars and a big bridge is the way to happiness. It's not.

Most people are more comfortable with what is familiar. I’ve spent my life doing the opposite.
Marina Abramovic
Image
I never say Serbia. I always say I come from a country that no longer exists.

Don't even ask me why. I do not know, I have no answer to this insane behaviour.

Performance has to be mainstream art. This is what I'm fighting for.

I didn't give any instruction to the video, because it was a new medium. I didn't know what to tell him it was so young. I did the piece and immediately after the piece, I wanted to see the material.
